Is it cheating to use a sex doll in a relationship?

Posted on May 24 2018

Unlike before, sex dolls are now being manufactured with emphasis being on looking more like humans in a bid to enhance the sexual experience. Initially, sex dolls were made from inflatable plastics that had less sexual appeal and gratification. Luckily, the advancements in technology and the growing demand for sex dolls has occasioned the recent developments and modifications on sex robots. Now, you can buy a sex doll that can respond to touch and maintain short conversations especially during sex. Isn’t that amazing?

Well, these advancements have been met with both love and hate. Quite a mixed reaction, right? To some, these sex robots couldn’t have come at a better time. The robots are ideal alternatives to women, they will never nag you, are safer than escorts, and considerably affordable to maintain. However, to others, the sex robots pose a threat to humanity and they consider them as a promoter of pedophilia. Others also argue that as a result of the immense submissiveness and lack of consent from the robots, men are at risk of treating women as objects and expecting them to live up to the fantasy world of the sex robots.

Away from that, there’s this lingering question that we will look into in this article. Is having a sex doll considered cheating? Firstly, I think the whole concept is dependent on the shared principals that guide your relationship. Sex dolls are here to stay and the best thing you can do is to talk with your spouse about the immense perks of these amazing sex aids as well as why and how you think they would help your marriage. The agreement that you come to after the discussion will pretty much determine whether or not you buy the sex doll in the first place.

Cheating can be defined in a variety of ways such as women having sex with dolls but the most popular one is the act of doing anything that is unacceptable to your spouse. If your spouse then agrees that you can have a sex doll, then well and good, that is not cheating. However, having the sex doll in another setting such as in an office or anywhere else where the spouse is unaware of can be considered as doing an ‘unacceptable’ thing if we are to go with the definition.

One of the major aspects of sex dolls is that they are lifeless and incapable of conveying compassion, love, and affection. So, apart from the sexual experience, sex robots cannot develop or reciprocate feelings to a person. This raises the issue that having a sex doll is then not cheating considering that the sex doll is a lifeless creature that is only used for sexual gratification. That cannot surpass the human interaction in women. Can it? In fact, some people compare it to those women who use vibrators for sexual gratification. Is that cheating? I suppose your answer is an outright NO.

The situation that is compelling the person to have a sex doll can also determine whether or not its cheating. Why are you having the sex doll? Have you become disconnected with your partner? Are you no longer interested in them?Is your partner always at work? Are they sick? Is she pregnant? The underlying reason for having a sex doll pretty much determines whether or not you’re cheating.
